Competencies
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:
Apply relevant aspects of law to current business situa!ons
Differen!ate between ma#ers of law and ma#ers of ethics in business situa!ons
Scenario
The Friendly Dawg is a retail pet supply store owned by Dave Dawgs. Dave has worked in the store since high school and took over
running the store a$er his father died two years ago. Originally the store sold only pet food and supplies, such as animal food, bird
cages, water bowls, pet beds, and so forth. Upon taking ownership, Dave added fish tanks with fish for sale. Recently he built a kennel
and cages in a former storage area in the rear of the store in order to sell live animals, such as snakes, birds, dogs, and cats. Landlord
Lou came by during renova!ons and asked what was going on. One of Dave’s employees told Lou that The Friendly Dawg was
expanding its inventory and needed the space. Landlord Lou told the employee, “Very exci!ng! Good luck!”
A few weeks later, landlord Lou began receiving complaints from the neighboring tenant, the Sunshine Yoga studio, that the noise
from the dogs and parrots was very disrup!ve.
The signed lease between Dave Dawg’s deceased father and Lou describes the business as a pet supply store only and does not
men!on selling live animals. The lease specifies a rent in the amount of $500 a month. Sunshine Yoga does not have a wri#en lease.
The owner of Sunshine Yoga, Jasmine, met Lou one night in a bar two years ago where he verbally offered to rent her the space for
$300 a month. Jasmine claims that landlord Lou told her that night that she could rent from him forever and that he would never evict
her.
Lou called Dave, asking him to quiet the animals. Dave said he would try, but the complaints from Jasmine con!nued. Dave also
demanded that Lou improve the air-condi!oning system, claiming it was too hot in the rear of the store for his animals and it was
causing them to become agitated. Landlord Lou refused, claiming that air-condi!oning was not meant to cool that area and it was not
his job as landlord to take care of live animals.
Dave stopped paying his rent, claiming that he was not obligated to do so because Lou was breaching his obliga!on under the lease to
maintain the property in good repair. The next day, a dangerous snake escaped through the air vents and slithered into the
neighboring yoga studio, frightening Jasmine, the owner, such that she had a heart a#ack.
A$er recovering, Jasmine stopped paying her rent, claiming that the premises were unsafe due to the presence of wild animals. She
also claimed that she has been very depressed and anxious as a result of the ongoing situa!on. And she contends that she has lost
clients because of the noise coming from The Friendly Dawg.
The Friendly Dawg has been a good tenant, enjoys a strong customer base, and pays more in rent than Sunshine Yoga. Sunshine Yoga
has always been late with rent, and Jasmine constantly bothers Lou over minor issues.
Direc!ons

either The Friendly Dawg or Sunshine Yoga.

4. Include a References sec!on and cite your sources using APA style.
Tort Law
Evaluate the implica!ons of tort law in this scenario and what legal claims Sunshine Yoga might have. Use reliable resources, such as
